| Description of the problem | While driving on street, the gas petal will no longer provide power to the car and begin to slow itself down. I will push on the breaks briefly and try the gas petal to see if it works and it will take a few times before it does. While on the freeway the vehicle again, gas petal would no longer provide power to the car and begin to slow itself down. This has now happened 8 separate times to the car. It will work for a few days and then do it again, with out notice. No check engine light goes on. Second issue is, the steering wheel will also feel extremely loose, not during the same time but when my speed is over 70 mph. Also, the check engine light nor any safety notices will go on. Lastly, the air bag light won't come off. The gas petal issue happened again on july 3th, 2020 and i decided to take it to get looked at. The dealer for a 5 point inspection and they found nothing wrong. I check the nhtsa website and it shows no recalls done. Does this mean they have not been completed? |
